A Scheme to Govern Ireland.

LONDON, February 15.-C Chamberlain and
Sir George 0. Trevelyain to-day resumed
the conference on Irish affairs with Baron
Herschell, Sir William Vernon Harcourt
and Morley. Chamberlain presented the
draft Of a scheme for tbe Government OF
Ireland which is a modification OF his for
mer proposals for the establishment OF
provincial councils. He would estab-
lish the Ulster Parliament at Belfast, an
other at Dublin, both to be subordinate to
the Imperial Parliament, the Irish
bodies holding executive authority
within their own limits; but
the Crown retaining the appointment OF
judges and control OF customs and excise
matters. The conference lasted several
hours. Morley declared his emphatic op-
position to Chamberlain's proposals. He
said it would be impossible to obtain the
assent of Parnelltes or the bulk of Glad
stonian Liberals to the scheme, which al
ready has been rejected by Gladstone.

Bare Knuckles and Gore.

New York Journal, 4th: The eeavage meet
last niggt between FranklHayes, ofChicago.
and Charles Doyle, ofNew York abundant
ly satisfied the sports who have been dis
cussing the proposed fight for week past.
The men met at we'll known club house
on Long Island and the Chicago man got
enough in two rounds.
The men recently had dispute, which
they agreed to adjust with bare knuckles
and for 500 side and a side bet of $1OO.
Doyle was seconded by Jack Ellingsworth,
and Joe Lewis attended to Hays. Joe e.
liDgsworth was referee and an amateur
boxer was tinle-keeper.
Round 1.-The men came together with
a rush the instant "time'' was called.
Doyle let go left-hander that nearly
closed Hayse's eyewith an ugly black lump.
Hayes countered in return ard marked
Doyle's check. Doyle again led his left, but
missed, and Hayes again swung his right on
the tender spot ha had just made on Doyle's
cheek. cutting it open this time and laying
bare the bone.
So smart was the blow that it sent Doyle
to grass, and Just as the later got on his
taps, Hayes, under the rules OF the fight,
spanked him high upon the neck and again
sent Doyle among the bushes.
As Doyle got up the third time Hayes
made blind rush to finish him, but Doyle
let 60 his left, straight cut, and caught
Hayes plump on the nose, causing blood to
scatter over his second and others near by.
Both were dazed and fell back to recover,
after which both became very busy at
close quarters, and 50 continued until time
was called.
Second round-It seemed dollars to
doughnuts that Doyle was a whipped man.
His cheek was gashed, lips split open and
bleeding, left eye bruised and nearly shut,
while his nose was apparently broken.
Without any pretence at sparring both
went to work. Hayes planted left and
right on Doyle's pitable face; they clinched.
Hayes evidently in distress for wind. Doyle
then tented with his left and swung his
right on the back of Hayes head with tor
ti6c force, knocking Hayes down.
Hayes gathered in time. the men clinchsd.
and were pulled apart by the referee. Hayes
made feeble effort, but Doyle swung bis
left ON Hayes's nose and Hayes went to
the floor kicking. He tried to get up, but
Fell back and remarked, 1--WE got enough"
The fight and money were awarded to
Doyle, who was as sorry a looking winner
10 ever pocketed money.
